UFC je danas objavio koji će sve borci sudjelovati u sedamnaestoj sezoni popularnog reality showa The Ultimate Fighter koji kreće sa emitiranjem 22. siječnja.

Treneri Jon Jones i Chael Sonnen su imali prilike vidjeti 28 boraca u početku, od kojih će polovica otpasti u eliminacijskim borbama, a neki će se usrećiti pa će možda usprkos porazu dobiti priliku u kući.

Europa će imati dvojicu predstavnika - Tor Troenga i Lukea Barnatta, a među njima je svakako iskusniji Švedski borac Troeng.
